Ingredients

1 pre-made pizza dough
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning divided

Instructions

Preheat: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shape the dough: Spread the pizza dough into a rectangle, approximately 10 × 8 inches.
Make the garlic butter: Combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and half of the Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
Top: Brush the pizza dough with the butter mixture, then top with the cheese and remaining ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning.
Bake: Bake for 11–14 minutes, or until the pizza dough is cooked through and the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

Notes

Let cold pizza dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes if it keeps springing back while you're stretching it

Don't worry about making a perfect rectangle.

Cut the breadsticks as wide or narrow as you like. Mine are fairly wide, but you can get more servings by cutting them narrower.

Freshly grated mozzarella melts best but pre-shredded is a great shortcut.

Watch them near the end because the cheese can brown quickly.
